About “Somebody's Gotta Die”

On this Life After Death track, Biggie tells a story of revenge.

While asleep at home B.I.G. is woken up by a friend, Sing, with bad news. After finding out their mutual friend has been murdered, the two plan to quickly retaliate against the murderer, Jason. Unfortunately the story ends in tragedy.

It wasn’t [directed at] anybody, it wasn’t a threat, it wasn’t no subliminal underlying message. It was just some lyrics, nothing to do with an East Coast/West Coast thing. He had lyrics like [this] before there were so-called beefs, you know. So a lot of things people started to look for and read into just weren’t there, honestly.
